Are you really implying that Charlie Munger hasn't bettered humanity? He has given money generously and created wealth for countless people.
It's not lacking empathy. At the end of the day the only thing you can remain control of is your attitude. Are you going to let unfortunate circumstances continue to ruin your life or are you going to do something about it? Charlie developed this thinking when he son died of leukemia at age 9. He was devastated, but he decided it wasn't going to be a drag on the rest of his life.
